Shake the yoke around and see if it has movement. It could either be the seal crapping out or the bushing inside could be wearing out too causing some wobble which breaks the seal and slings fluid.


Both parts can be found at AZ or NAPA under either the federal mogul or timkin brand....if you can figure out what the call it in their computer
